Hello class,
Welcome to blogging! Before you scream, "Not another project, " read on to find out the benefits of blogging. Blogging is a writing/response activity which aims to get students to become more regular readers of current events and to provide a forum in which you can share your writing with a greater audience beyond the teacher as the "evaluator!" You will post your own writing, read each other's writing and respond to their blogs as part of class work.
Try choosing different members of the class as much as possible for each blog assignment.
For your first assignment, you will write a response (1-2 paragraphs) to one of the following questions and then respond to two blogs written by classmates.
1. Do you believe the teacher should be the only evaluator of your writing? How can students benefit from sharing their writing with their peers? Comment on an experience you've had sharing your writing with your peers. Was it valuable?
